If your thought is to make a category, then forget about it as there are no where near enough. That said, the only ones that come to mind are "Fartbreak Hotel" and "The Kidney Stays in the Picture". --Buckimion (talk) 16:44, August 21, 2014 (UTC)

Episode Title Correction
The name of the episode is "The Best Christmas Story Never Told". It is NOT "The Best Christmas Story Never". The episode's title is an allusion to the film "The Greatest Story Ever Told". "The Best Christmas Story Never" does not make any sense. The reason this episode is entitled "The Best Christmas Story Never" here on fandom is because this episode was mistitled on IMDb as "The Best Christmas Story Never". "The Best Christmas Story Never Told" is the correct title of the episode according to TVMaze, TV Guide and TBS.com-- which is the network that airs "American Dad". The episode's title has now been corrected on IMDb. It needs to be corrected here. --Edlitz36 (talk) 5:09, April 28, 2020 (UTC)

The DVDs list the title as "The Best Christmas Story Never" which we consider to be the final arbitrator as FOX was the owner at the time AND the producer of such materials. (And still retain most rights to this day.) We have no intention of changing at this time. --Buckimion (talk) 11:24, April 28, 2020 (UTC)

Further digging and a personal query confirms that "never" is indeed the correct title. The first entry is the page for the Writers Guild of America which relies on the writer to personally submit his information based on the scripts as written:

The second here is the final entry to the Library of Congress:



A note to producer Kara Vallow confirms that they were making alliteration between this title and "The Most Adequate Christmas Ever" which was in production at the time. "Rapture's Delight" was once given the title of "The Last Christmas Ever" but it never evolved beyond a tag line. --Buckimion (talk) 12:42, April 28, 2020 (UTC)
